For Wavy Brunettes Going Blonde

If you have wavy, shoulder-length hair in a brunette tone, don't go for all-over color. Instead, add texture to your style plus some caramel highlights scattered throughout the crown and part areas.

The textured waves combined with the highlights will reflect the sunlight and create a dazzling effect.

The key to create a great highlight on darker hair start with beautiful, rich base colors. Once the base is established, customization can be created with individual blocks and panels of highlights.

Long Hair Color Tip

After all, your hair has been subjected to years of styling and brushing so the mid lengths and ends are more damaged than the roots.

If you color a hair that not been conditioned, the color pigments that are to be deposited into the hair will not hold and will fade faster than you think!

To get this look, consider opting for a soft, natural look, with a wavy hair style that matched with a vanilla blonde hair color.

Find The Right Blonde For You

Before choosing a new hair color, consider your skin tone and eye color. You may find that warmer colors suit you better and lift your overall appearance. For example, if your hair has already been bleached or colored a very light blond hue and your darker roots are starting to show, change your color to a warmer tone of blonde with deep honey highlights. And forget the bleach... your hair needs time to recuperate.

Layer Your Colors For an Exciting Look

If you naturally have a light brown base color, try going for highlights with a multi-coloring technique. Applying the highlights in several tones on the part area and keeping the layers underneath darker will give you a striking and unique look. This type of coloring looks especially good on straight, medium-length hair with side bangs.
